Dont think so try going a little higher

A GOOD 450W PSU would cope. But that thing is going to by no means be 'good'. Don't risk it, Thats like me spending £250 on a computer and trying to power it with a £15 power supply.

Go for a Good named 500W, Antec 480W. Corsait HX520, anything. Just don't buy THAT!

that would be no problems

It'll handle it, but with the rebate I'd rather have the OCZ.
